Object: Remove all of the hanging balls from the board with the exception of a single ball
which should be hanging in the center.
Rules of Play: The game is played by jumping one peg over another into an empty hole.
The peg jumped over is then removed. Play continues in this manner until no more jumps
remain. Only orthogonal jumps are allowed.
The Axiom engine is capable of solving this puzzle. The minimum recommended thinking
time is 3 seconds.
Note: Jabberwocky.zsg is a solution which contains a symmetrical jumping pattern for moves 11-25.
The pattern can be followed on a real board by making two simultaneous jumps, one with each hand.
"Jabberwocky" is mentioned in the book "The Unexpected Hanging and Other Mathematical Diversions"
by Martin Gardner.
